The Bad
The rules of the award, specifically number 7. Choosing my favourite 7 blogs out of the 56 on my reader, now that will be hard, they are all in my reader because I love reading them!
Oh well, here goes.
And the nominations for the I LOVE THIS BLOG award are
Chatabox Ash thanks for nominating me. We started this blog thing at about the same time, if only my knowledge of how to make a blog look pretty was as comprehensive as yours. I have to say that I love reading your all about your upcoming move and I can’t wait to welcome you to Australia. Now if only we could convince you to move to Melbourne instead of Brisbane…
MiscMum, a great Aussie writer, that I can soon say “I knew her before she was famous, look she has commented on my blog!” Her new children’s book is out really soon and I can’t wait.
A few of my other favourite blogs are the blogs of real world friends, friends who don’t actually know that I blog here about the real me, so I can’t actually link to them but I still have to nominate my other favourite blogs and this is the really hard part.
Most of the blogs I read are ‘famous’ bloggers or are bloggers who have like a gazillion comments on every single post or are on everyone’s blogroll. Linking to these blogs is like going up to the cool kids at school and saying in an ever-so-squeaky timid voice, “will you be my friend?” and hoping that they will not laugh in my face and walk away joking about the “freaky chick who wants to play with the big kids”.
For most of the blogs that I read, I do nothing but lurk and you don’t even know that I exist. If nothing else, this post celebrates a de-lurking day! So wish me luck…
The first blog that became a must read for me is none other than Zoot. This is the blog that makes me feel all stalkerish. I really love the way Zoot can make a any topic come to life, the way she can laugh at the insanity that must be a life with 3 kids, even if the 3 kids in question are totally adorable!
RudeCactus Mr Cactus can write an amazing post about absolutely anything. He can even write a post about nothing and it is still interesting. Something else that is amazing is the way he can make me feel good about commenting on his blog.
FreckleFaceGirl Around the time I was feeling the need to start a blog of my very own, I found your blog. I can’t remember how, it was quite by accident but I loved the name so I started reading and I kept on reading.
ToddlerPlanet I found this blog around the time a friend was diagnosed. You write beautifully and illustrate the difficulties of life with cancer and help us to see that you are more than just the abnormal cells hiding in your body. Your blog was my link to how to help my friend through her treatments (final treatment was a week ago – HOORAY). Thank you for helping me and many others.
RantingRadish I have been reading about Carter and his life from before he was born, when he was known only as Turkey. It is kind of stalkerish knowing about someone who is so far away but Amy is a beautiful writer with a great story to tell
There it is done. Here are the 7 blogs I love the most! That was a much harder task than I expected.
